Step one
The carrier estimate, as written.
Ten lines, correctly priced, internally consistent. Nothing here is wrong. That is the problem — an incomplete estimate does not look incomplete.

Step two
The same estimate, read against the property.
Each line is resolved to the operations it actually pays for, then compared against what the roof report, the photos, and the adopted code require. Where the scope around a line is incomplete, it flags.

Step three
Every finding, opened.
Five of the 9 documented items, in full. Each one is a requirement that applies at this property, the evidence that the condition exists, and the arithmetic that produces the number.
Step flashing — sidewall
+$412
Requirement
IRC R905.2.8.3
Base flashing against a vertical sidewall shall be continuous or step flashing, not less than 4 in. in height and 4 in. in width.
Evidence
IMG_2247 — north sidewall
Quantity & pricing
16.00 LF × $25.75 — $412.00
Valley metal — open valley
+$1,840
Requirement
IRC R905.2.8.2
Open valley lining of corrosion-resistant metal shall be not less than 24 in. wide.
Evidence
IMG_2251 — south valley
Quantity & pricing
80.00 LF × $23.00 — $1,840.00
Ridge cap — high-grade match
+$920
Requirement
Mfr. spec
Manufacturer specification requires a matching high-profile ridge cap over a laminated field shingle. The estimate prices a cut-three-tab cap.
Evidence
Mfr. installation instructions, §4.2
Quantity & pricing
42.00 LF × $21.90 — $920.00
Drip edge — eave & rake
+$218.40
Requirement
IRC R905.2.8.5
A drip edge shall be provided at eaves and rake edges of shingle roofs, overlapping not less than 2 in.
Evidence
IMG_2263 — south rake
Quantity & pricing
124.00 LF × $1.76 — $218.40
The remaining 4 documented items total $467.30 — smaller accessory and termination lines that follow the same three-part structure. 2 further items were surfaced in review and cut: the requirement held, but the file couldn’t evidence the condition. Those are delivered as flagged, not as findings, and are not counted in any total.
About this sample
Claim #8821-TX is constructed. The estimate, the findings, and every figure attached to them are an example built to show the format of the output — not a customer result, and not an average.
Why it isn’t a case study
A case study on this site requires a carrier’s written response and the contractor’s written permission to publish. Until both exist for a real claim, that page stays empty rather than being filled with a composite. What a published one will contain
